Haliburton just hit game winner/tie in every shot and yet you still mentioned Kawhi as scariest player in the playoffs
@darylpaulk
July 3, 2025 at 8:38 pm
Kawhi, maybe healthy 2 years in a row… Maybe. James Harden, in the money season , the playoffs………..πΆβπ«οΈπΆβπ«οΈπΆβπ«οΈ. You could argue that the Nuggets were a hamstring from winning game 7….like an achilles from a very possible loss in the Championship game 7.π€·πΎββοΈ

You can see why steph is the most overrated player of all time and it ain’t even close. Wouldn’t have even made the playoffs without butler

Ayton will gain 200lbs from Lukas diet plan and will turn to Prime Shaq in LA π₯

“Nah”…. I don’t think adding Ayton is going to make Lakers win a title. That team needs a deep bench too.

Absolutely No. Ayton is a “Slow Giant,” and can’t shoot. So the LAL will have same issues as last season. Best option is to trade LJ and start rebuilding…

These same guys were just saying we’d be in trouble if Ayton signed with someone else. And now, he sucks?

Steph Curry is at a serious disadvantage. No 2-Guard that averages 14 points per game as a 3 Level Scorer himself.

LOL at 8:00… Jokic had as many turnovers as field goals in Game 7 these playoffs. He was HORRIBLE in 4/7 games against OKC.
This, a year after blowing a 20 point game 7 lead at home.
Most overrated player ever.
Without AG they get swept.
